Introduction The Cabinda Province Agriculture Value Chain Development Project (CPAVCDP) four municipalities from the Cabinda Province of Angola, namely: Belize, Buco Zau, Cacongo and Cabind and includes commodity value chain development, and infrastructure development. The project’s investment will include construction and/or rehabilitation works for small-scale irrigation schemes, processing and marketing facilities, community support infrastructure (health centers, primary schools and water and sanitation facilities) and rural feeder roads that are likely to generate minimal and localized environmental and social impacts. The precise location, scale and risks of these interventions will be confirmed during project implementation, hence an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) is the appropriate safeguard instrument that will provide the framework to manage all potential negative environmental and social risks incurred during implementation of the project. ESMF is a framework for screening, mitigation and monitoring potential impacts during implementation and operation of proposed investments, with an embedded process for triggering subsequent sub-project environment and social assessments. The ultimate aim of the ESMF is to enhance the quality and sustainability of the CPAVCDP. 2. Description of Programme The CPAVCDP is a value chain development of selected commodities that aims to contribute to the increased food security, job and wealth creation of the communities within Cabinda Province, and by extension Angola. The specific objective of the project is to increase farmers’ food security and incomes through increased agricultural output and value addition. The Project will also contribute to enhance income of small and medium enterprises engaged in input supply, production, processing, storage and marketing of selected commodities on a sustainable basis. The proposed CPAVCD Project is composed of three components: (i) Commodity Value Chains Development; (ii) Infrastructure Development; and (iii) Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation. The project focuses on the provision of the enabling environment for agricultural development and value addition of staple crops (cassava, sweet potato, peanut, and beans); cash crops (coffee, cocoa and oil palm); marine and inland fisheries; small ruminants; and horticulture 2 (vegetables and fruits). It will rehabilitate or construct rural and resilient infrastructure, namely feeder roads to link production clusters to markets, agro-processing centers, market centers, community health centers, primary schools, potable water facilities in the communities and improve rural energy access. Component 1: Commodity Value Chains Development Provision of improved production inputs in crops, fisheries and livestock (seeds, fertilizers, fingerlings, small ruminants); training in good agricultural practices; promotion of mechanization along the value chains by equipment and machinery leasing with two tractors/implements each in the four Municipalities; support to training in post-harvest technologies for farmers and value chain actors; training of value chain actors in modern food processing; entrepreneurship and business management training; development of market information system; installation of 14 processing equipment for commodity value addition and marketing; environmental protection management for productivity enhancement, processing, marketing and community infrastructure; provision of two refrigerating units for vegetables in Cabinda Municipality; and establishment of the credit fund. Component 2: Infrastructure Development Extension of electrical power grid (54 kms); rehabilitation of feeder roads (191 kms); rehabilitation of four community markets and storage facilities; installation of 16 water boreholes for potable and sanitation systems; rehabilitation of 1,500 km of irrigation water distribution system; development of 750 ha of irrigated land; construction of nine residences to support extension advisory services; construction of structure to mitigate coastal erosion at Landana; construction of one health center and one primary school in each of the four Municipalities; construction of a fisheries training facility at Tanda-Zinze (Cabinda Municipality); construction of two piers and produce preservation warehouses at Tungu and Chicaca in Cacongo Municipality; reconstruction of the landing pier at Landana in Cabinda Municipality; construction of an abattoir in Cabinda Municipality; construction of two animal quarantine parks in Cabinda Municipality Component 3: Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation Project management activities; day-to-day management, management of studies on key policy issues; credit management; development of a results based framework for M&E; and procurement, disbursement and audit functions. 2.1 Project Location The CPAVCD Project will be implemented in the four municipalities of Cabinda Province namely: Belize, Buco Zau, Cacongo and Cabinda with a combined human population of 688,285. 3 3. Environmental and Social Baseline Information Climate, Air Quality and GHG The average annual temperature in the province is about 24.9° C, being fairly uniform throughout the territory. March (in coastal areas) and April (within the country) are the months where there are higher average temperatures, approximately 27.0° C. In the dry season (Luanda, June to October), the lowest temperatures are recorded in July and August, being of the order of 21.0° c. Precipitation in the province of Cabinda varies sharply from the coast to the interior, with 4 increasing altitude. The average annual precipitation varies between areas with less than 800 mm in the southern region, up more than 1 800 mm in the mountainous region of the interior. Throughout the year include two seasons: the rainy season, which lasts approximately six months in the coastal region (November to April) and seven months inside (October to mid-May) and dry season during the rest of the year. May and October can be considered transitional months. In June, July and August rainfall is very low (less than 1 mm). In the month of may (transition) about 10 to 12 days with precipitation above 10 mm, increasing to 15 days in the municipalities of Buco Zau and Belize. Along the coast of Cabinda Province, the average annual water deficit varies between 500 and 300 mm respectively from West to East. Inside the country, this parameter is less than 300 mm. The agro-climatic zones of Cabinda can be separated in two distinct areas: 1. Coastal hot and dry territories: Elevation below 300 m; megathermal climate; high temperatures and air humidity; lower precipitation and poor distribution of rains; low insolation percentage during the “cacimbo” season and absence of frosts; weakly developed mineral soils resulting mainly from marines and fluvial sediments. 2. Interior, hot and humid territories: Elevation between 300 m to 900 m; megathermal climate; high temperatures and air humidity; high precipitation and good distribution of rains; low insolation percentage during the “cacimbo” season and absence of frosts; long developed mineral soils resulting mainly from sedimentary rocks of the Congo System. Water Resources The three main river basins, Chiloango, Lubinda and Lulondo, present, respectively, the following mean annual runoff values at the river mouth: 659 hm3, 21 hm3 and 0,3 hm3. The mean annual runoff of Lucula River is less than 0.1 hm3. With regard to groundwater resources, information collected by the authors of the Hydrogeological Map of Angola province of Cabinda, referred to the existence of large wells, typically implemented in alluvial rivers, whose productivity can reach 2 to 3 l/s. In general, along the bottom of rivers the groundwater is probably saline. In these cases, groundwater may only supply villages in rural districts, after the necessary water treatment processes. Almost all of the irrigation is performed using surface water. In general, because of the nature of most family farms, the irrigated lands are of small size that benefit small areas of soil located preferentially next to streams (without the existence of a line protection strip of water) and water distribution on the parcel by gravity (through small trapezoidal ditches performed manually, with high water losses). It is estimated that the irrigation efficiency is extremely low and of the order of 50% (approximately 80% in land, 85% in distribution,

  • Economic and Social Development of Angola Due to Petroleum Exploration
    XVII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Technological Innovation and Intellectual Property: Production Engineering Challenges in Brazil Consolidation in the World Economic Scenario. Belo Horizonte, Brazil, 04 to 07 October – 2011 ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF ANGOLA DUE TO PETROLEUM EXPLORATION DANIELLE FERNANDES DO CARMO (UFRJ) [email protected] The evaluation regarding the influence of petroleum production and exploration in a country is essential for a better usage of all the returns this commodity may generate. This article aims to explicit the current social and economic condittions of Angola in order to demonstrate if the country has improved its quality of life due to petroleum and gas exploration in the territory. The innumerable variables to be analyzed in this approach are: social and economic indices; and historic of the country’s development, which are divided into Human Development Index (HDI), Human Poverty Index (HPI), Child Mortality Rate, among others. Concerning the economic development of Angola, current economic indices will be applied, such as the Gross Domestic Product, daily production of oil and natural gas, oil and gas reserves which have been proved, among several others. This juxtaposition of social and economic indices will enable the evaluation of influences which Angola presents due to its insertion in the petroleum and gas production. It was concluded that petroleum and gas do not generate an even income distribution, however, they upgrade the country ratings in some social indicators (HDI, for example). Palavras-chaves: Petroleum and gas; Angola; quality of life; economic development.

  • The Botanical Exploration of Angola by Germans During the 19Th and 20Th Centuries, with Biographical Sketches and Notes on Collections and Herbaria
    Blumea 65, 2020: 126–161 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/blumea.2020.65.02.06 The botanical exploration of Angola by Germans during the 19th and 20th centuries, with biographical sketches and notes on collections and herbaria E. Figueiredo1, *, G.F. Smith1, S. Dressler 2 Key words Abstract A catalogue of 29 German individuals who were active in the botanical exploration of Angola during the 19th and 20th centuries is presented. One of these is likely of Swiss nationality but with significant links to German Angola settlers in Angola. The catalogue includes information on the places of collecting activity, dates on which locations botanical exploration were visited, the whereabouts of preserved exsiccata, maps with itineraries, and biographical information on the German explorers collectors. Initial botanical exploration in Angola by Germans was linked to efforts to establish and expand Germany’s plant collections colonies in Africa. Later exploration followed after some Germans had settled in the country. However, Angola was never under German control. The most intense period of German collecting activity in this south-tropical African country took place from the early-1870s to 1900. Twenty-four Germans collected plant specimens in Angola for deposition in herbaria in continental Europe, mostly in Germany. Five other naturalists or explorers were active in Angola but collections have not been located under their names or were made by someone else. A further three col- lectors, who are sometimes cited as having collected material in Angola but did not do so, are also briefly discussed. Citation: Figueiredo E, Smith GF, Dressler S.

  • Angola Cabinda
    Armed Conflicts Report - Angola Cabinda Armed Conflicts Report Angola-Cabinda (1994 - first combat deaths) Update: January 2007 Summary Type of Conflict Parties to the Conflict Status of the Fighting Number of Deaths Political Developments Background Arms Sources Economic Factors Summary: 2006 The Angolan government signed the Memorandum of Understanding in July 2006, a peace agreement with one faction of the rebel group FLEC (Front for the Liberation of the Cabinda Enclave). Because of this, and few reported conflict related deaths over the past two years (less than 25 per year), this armed conflict is now deemed to have ended. 2005 Government troops and rebels clashed on several occasions and the Angolan army continued to be accused of human rights abuses in the region. Over 50,000 refugees returned to Cabinda this year. 2004 There were few reported violent incidences this year. Following early reports of human rights abuses by both sides of the conflict, a visit by a UN representative to the region noted significant progress. Later, a human rights group monitoring the situation in Cabinda accused government security forces of human rights abuses. 50,000 refugees repatriated during the year, short of the UNHCR’s goal of 90,000. 2003 Rebel bands remained active even as the government reached a “clean up” phase of the military campaign in the Cabinda enclave that began in 2002. Both sides were accused of human rights violations and at least 50 civilians died. Type of Conflict: State formation Parties to the Conflict: 1) Government, led by President Jose Eduardo dos Santos: Ruling Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA); 2) Rebels: The two main rebel groups, the Front for the Liberation of the Cabinda Enclave (FLEC) and the Front for the Liberation of the Cabinda Enclave Cabinda Armed Forces (FLEC FAC), announced their merger on 8 September 2004.

SALMAN M.A. SALMAN* Legal Regime for Use and Protection of International Watercourses in the Southern African Region: Evolution and Context ABSTRACT Water resources management is receiving increased attention worldwide due to the growing realization that most areas of the world face major challenges with regard to the quantitativeand qualitative aspects of water. These challenges are attributed to a multitude offactors, the most important of which are the signifi- cant increase in population, urbanization, and environmental d adation. Such factors are more apparent in the Southern Afican Region than in many other parts of the world. The region is, by and large,arid and semi-aridand as a resultfaces a shortage of water in many areas. Moreover, the high rates of population growth and urbanization threaten to worsen the situation. The region depends, to a large extent, on the waters of river basins, most of which are shared by two or more countries.
